Worth the purchase price (in my case, fifty cents at the Martins Ferry Library sale) for this one poem by Wu-Men:

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life. ( )

To Zen Master Seung Sahn, who taught me everything I don't know

The Golden God, the Self, the immortal Swan leaves the small nest of the body, goes where He wants.

Of all that God has shown me I can speak just the smallest word, not more than a honey bee takes on her foot from an overspilling jar. -- Mechthild of Magdeburg
